For the clunk For the clunk, check your radius arm bushings, the right one is notorious for deterioration due to it's proximity to the exhaust manifold. Can't help you with the shakin good luck

Got your numbers, here's mine 206-972-9640 P

I just changed my Jet chip for the new dual Apten, otherwise, I think we are road ready, or should that be off road ready? I can't put hooks on the fron due to the Limited's air dam so don't let me get in a spot where i would need it. Dreamr, you gotta be there. What is going on with...

All a chip will do is change timing and fuel/air ratios and on later models with electronically controlled transmissions, it will alter the shifting for more performance. It attaches to a service port on the side of the OCM. Removal reverts your PCM to the stock settings. If you are getting...

Take his advice, return it to stock and have it re scanned, unless you don't have the stock pieces anymore.

20ft 4" dryer duct $8. It doesn't look as pretty but probably works better

Reset your computer by disconnecting the neg terminal from the battery for 15-20 minutes. Re start your rig so it can adjust to the extra airflow.

It would be cheaper to buy the drop in K&N and drill out your air box with a hole saw and install some 4" dryer vent hose through the side wall of the engine compartment inot the area just behind the wheel well liner. That is where the cold air really is. These MAC and Ifab things pull the air...

It IS a resonator to make the exhaust quieter.

BTW, look closley, it is probably stamped on there, mine was 350# tongue weight and 3500# pulling weight.

I towed a 16' Searay for a year with a ball on the bumper, no problem. the bumper is probably more sensitive to tounge weight than total pulled weight. A couple Wave runners should be a piece of cake.

Mine started bouncing around like crazy at 70mph. I pulled it apart several times, lubed the cable and everything I could see that moved, no improvement. I finally bought an instrument cluster off EBay for $15 and switched out the speedo. The older Gen1 speedo's (with 10th's of a mile) are...

9 years! I just replaced my OEM 1994 motorcraft battery with the Top O The Line Die Hard. It was still working well but starting to show signs of weakness on cold morning starts. Gotta love that 'Limited' battery saver option!

Can you give me a little more detail? I don't really stomp on it that much, although going up the last part of I-90 to Snoqualmie Pass @ 70 does put me down in 3rd at about 3200rpm. I guess it is really not bad for 60,000?

Hey mechanical genius' out there, I changed my plugs last night and found a small amount of sulfury yellow deposit on the two center cylinders. The Bosch platinum4's have been in the truck for about 4 years/60,000 miles. What would that indicate? if anything. The color has faded a litttle...

Do a search on drive train vibrations. There can be a TON of causes. I'm still chasing mine after replacing ALMOST a ton of parts. Gonna find it if it's the last thing I do. (it probably WILL be the last thing I do)

Look here; http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=79 under the NW Explorers group. I know ther are a couple guys there in Oregon. Good luck

Here's how I see it There are several ways to look at it. 1. You can just put them on and if you get stopped, claim ignorance, "I was so excited when I got them, I didn'd read the label. Can you let me off with a warning and I will put the stock ones back on tonite?" (that's what I said...

Sure they can do what they want. I'm just saying it is a great way to start a conversation with a State Trooper and possibly shell out a $C note. Just trying to save someone some dough. I had that conversation last Friday morning, lucky for me it was just a warning.;)

Guys, clear tail lights are illegal in all states! You MUST have RED reflex lenses on the side and back per FMVSS 108. Check this web site, it has the full text as well as explanations as to what is legal or not. also check out the Recall tab! http://fmvss108.tripod.com/fmvss108text.htm...

Yes Coleman Dock is the ferry landing downtown. Once we are on the boat, we can go upstairs and meet on either end. We have an hour or so to chat and if we want to look at each others rig, we just go back to the car deck. So we will meet ON the boat, K?

We will be at Coleman dock downtown at about 8:20. dremr, bring a pole and some catfish bait for those puddles, if someone gets stuck, we can 'reel em in'.:D

Don't you get oil dripping from the filter input tube? Obviousley I have never tried this so I wouldn't know how many of the engine oil journals would also drain, you make it sound like not much. I get drips down the side of the filter even after draining the pan. Proper palcement of the...

Doesn't that get a little messy? Where do you get your Amsoil? I assume you have shopped for teh best price. Thanks O Master of High MPG, I am humbled by your prescence.;)

I will change it at 15k with a filter change every 5k. And of course with oil analysis at each filter change. You drain it, change the filter then put the oil back in? What kind of analysis?

Al, how often are you changing your oil now? You did switch to the new Mobil 1 didn't you?

Check this thread. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=100613&goto=newpost Those clear tails are illegal in all states. I did a little research after a State Trooper stopped me yesterday morning. The tail lights MUST have RED reflective sections. We are...

Actually I'm about to switch to synthetics like aldive, then spread the changes out a little, I think I saw he goes 5k between LOF's.

I use Restore every time. Seems to me that it quiets some of the valve train clatter. I also use Lucas oil stabilizer occasionally and once or twice a year, Duralube. I can't quantify any performance increases but it feels good to pamper your rig once in a while. I also change the oil every...

Unless they reflect RED with no internal illumination, they don't meet this standard and therefore are illegal. If they don't meet this standard, they can't have a DOT cert. I haven't seen a Lexus in the last day or two so I can't check to see how they could. If you know how to make a...

I know what you mean, I hate legaleze language. All I can suggest is look at the first couple lines of each section to see if you should read the sub-sections(ie. S5 . 3 Location of required equipment, S5 . 4 Equipment combinations, S5 . 5 Special wiring requirements etc.) Or you can ask...

Call me a wimp, but i don't want any water/mud in my Limited unless it is on my feet. I'll watch carefully, then decide. Thanks for the pic's and videos! See you in a couple of weeks. Phil

Not necessarily, while I was searching for this info, I came across a site showing manufacturer recalls for Non Compliant Products and there were a lot of Altezze's on there. It's up to you the buyer, check first and save money or take a chance on talking with a trooper and shelling out even...

B4 you buy! Before you buy any aftermarket replacement lighting, I recommend you read the FMVSS 108 standards. It could save you a $100 ticket as well as the price of the lights! http://fmvss108.tripod.com/fmvss108text.htm :(

Here is a link to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Standard No. 108; Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment. http://fmvss108.tripod.com/fmvss108text.htm After a brief converstaion with a State Trooper the morning of Friday the 13th (just a warning but he didn't even...

I think we have decided on the 8:45 boat, so we should be in Belfair 10:15-10:30? Right folks? Phil

Don't confuse them Don't confuse a throttle body spacer with the "tornado" type device. The spacer will increase the volume of the upper intake plenum. It may have a swirl inducer machined into the bore but swirling the incoming air is not the primary function. Check aldive's 'my quest for...

The throtttle body that the spacer will bolt up to. http://proficientperformance.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=BBK-1580&Category_Code=bbk_throttle_body_ford_truck_suv&Store_Code=PP I recommend you do the throttle body before the spacer but there are a ton of mods to...

Where did you find them? What is the bore? Price? aldive swears the spacer, along with many other mods combined, are the reason he gets 30+mpg from his Gen 2 X. I have replaced my throttle body with a BBK. It only takes about 20 minutes so adding a spacer would probably take about 10 min.

There is a small key between the bearing nut and teh spindle that you need to pull out before you can turn the bearing nut. I recomend a magnet of a dental pick and you might have to wiggle the bearing nut back and forth to take the load off it to get it out. When you have the new rotor...
